On November 20, a special election was held for the British House of Commons. Mark Reckless, the UKIP nominee, won. This is the second House of Commons election that the party has won. See this story. There were five candidates on the ballot. They placed in this order: UKIP, Conservative, Labour, Green, Liberal Democratic.

Unless I have grossly miscalculated the British people, I believe we are beginning to see a change in the direction of politics in the United Kingdom.
If this election (including the election of another UKIP member a couple of months ago) is more of a personality spate with the ruling Conservative/Democratic Liberal leadership, we may see a genuine surge in nationalism in this European stronghold. It all depends on what the millennials really want. Do they simply want a change in personalities, or do they really want Independence for Great Britain?
One would think millennials are more leftist in nature, believing, among other things, that world government, via the European Union, is the wave of the future. Perhaps I have misunderstood what the UKIP really stands for. The future successes (or failures) of the UKIP may well establish whether my interpretation of what UKIPism stands for is correct.
British politics is going to be interesting to observe in the coming decades.
